Ron Wood Drag Pipe
For those considering the Drag Pipe for the DS from Ron Wood, the rubber mid-pipe mount they have will not hold the drag exhaust since there is no exhaust can mount. I've given information to the solution to this problem to TheBOM - Since he did most of the work on the Drag Pipe design. I thought that was the correct thing to do.

There's nothing wrong with a hard aluminum spacer. I've used that before too. The rubber mount just takes some of the vibration out of the exhaust. Plus, with a rubber mount you'll get some give from the mount. I've broke about 4 bolts on a hard aluminum mount mount over the years. A good rubber mount is little better. With the pipe expanding and contracting, you'll put a lot of stress on a bolt and hard spacer. Like I've said, I've used both.

another point - if your RWR exhaust has been on the bike for a good while, make sure you can get the tailpipe seperated from the headpipe before you order a drag can. they may be rusted together, and it may be a bigger job than you think getting them apart. DSBOMB tried putting the drag pipe on at St. A's a couple weeks ago, he could not get his old RWR muffler seperated, I think the only way is to put some torch heat to it, but not everybody has a torch out in the desert.
yet another reason why I will never again own anything that is not stainless.
